<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">The U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the <B>&ldquo;SEC&rdquo;</B>) adopted Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to &ldquo;conflict minerals&rdquo; pursuant to Section 1502 of the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. Rule 13p-1 imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registered
issuers that manufacture or contract to manufacture products in which conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or
production of the products. Conflict minerals are defined by the SEC as gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite,
including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten for purposes of the rule (collectively, the <B>&ldquo;Conflict
Minerals&rdquo;</B>). For products that contain necessary Conflict Minerals, the registrant must conduct in good faith a reasonable
country of origin inquiry designed to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals contained in its products originated or may
have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively, the <B>&ldquo;Covered Countries&rdquo;</B>)
and may contribute to or finance militant groups in the region. If, based on such inquiry, the registrant knows or has reason
to believe that any of the necessary Conflict Minerals contained in its products originated or may have originated in a Covered
Country and knows or has reason to believe that those necessary Conflict Minerals may not be solely from recycled or scrap sources,
the registrant must conduct due diligence to conclude whether the necessary Conflict Minerals contained in the products did or
did not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. Products that do not contain necessary
Conflict Minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries are considered &ldquo;DRC
Conflict Free.&rdquo;</FONT></P>

Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the <B>&ldquo;Company&rdquo;</B> or <B>&ldquo;SML&rdquo;</B>, and also referred to by
<B>&ldquo;we&rdquo;</B>, <B>&ldquo;us&rdquo;</B> or <B>&ldquo;our&rdquo;</B>) design, source and market fashion-forward branded
and private label footwear, accessories and apparel for women, men and children. We distribute our products through department
stores, mass merchants, off-price retailers, shoe chains, online retailers, national chains, specialty retailers and independent
stores throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, South Africa and certain other international markets. In addition,
our products are distributed through our retail stores within the United States, Canada, Mexico and South Africa, and our joint
ventures in Israel, Taiwan and China, and under special distribution arrangements in certain European countries, the Middle East,
South and Central America, and various countries in Asia, in addition to our e-commerce sites. Our product lines include a broad
range of contemporary styles designed to establish or capitalize on market trends, complemented by core product offerings. We
have established a reputation for design creativity and our ability to offer quality, trend-right products at accessible price
points, delivered in an efficient manner and time frame. We do not manufacture products; rather, we contract with vendors to have
them manufacture products for us. We do not directly purchase raw materials or component parts for our products. Many of our products
are made with component parts, such as zippers, buttons and working buckles, that are necessary to the functionality of our products.
These component parts are made of metal and, in some cases, may contain Conflict Minerals. Our vendors that manufacture our products
generally purchase these component parts from other third-party vendors. In light of this, we rely on our direct vendors to provide
information on the origin of the Conflict Minerals, if any, contained in components and materials included in some of our products,
including sources of Conflict Minerals that have been supplied to them from lower tier suppliers.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">In 2021, SML
undertook a number of steps to determine whether any of the products that we contracted to be manufactured for us included components
or materials that contained Conflict Minerals in order to assess the applicability to the Company of Rule 13p-1. These steps included
(i) the continuous education of certain of our employees about Conflict Minerals and of our reporting obligation; (ii) identifying
vendors of products that could contain Conflict Minerals; (iii) communicating our vendor compliance manual, which contains Conflict
Minerals compliance requirements for our suppliers, and obtaining Conflict Minerals compliance commitments from our vendors; (iv)
educating our vendors about the Conflict Minerals reporting obligation; (v) requesting information from our vendors regarding
the Conflict Minerals content of the products and/or components that they provide; and (vi) collecting and analyzing the information
from our vendors.</FONT></P>

we have developed a Conflict Minerals Policy, incorporated in our Vendor Compliance Manual, and implemented procedures for supply

expects all of our Vendors to purchase the components used in our products and the materials utilized in the production of our
products from legitimate sources not involved in the funding of conflict. In particular, SML expects all of its Vendors, in full
compliance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, to avoid the use of &ldquo;conflict minerals&rdquo;, specifically, tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold, which may directly
or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries. This requirement
shall also be incorporated by reference into all purchase orders issued by SML, where the Vendor will warrant that all minerals
are conflict free, based on personal knowledge and/or written warranties provided by the vendor/supplier of component materials.</I></FONT></P>

must acknowledge their receipt and understanding of the Conflict Minerals Policy by executing an acknowledgement and agreement
to such effect and returning it to us. Additionally, as noted therein, the Conflict Minerals Policy is incorporated into all purchase
orders issued by SML and requires that the vendor warrant that all minerals are conflict free based on personal knowledge and/or
written warranties provided by the vendor/supplier of component materials.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">Further,
for calendar year 2021, in order to strengthen our compliance program, we contracted with a third party, Source Intelligence,
to conduct a supply-chain survey of direct relevant vendors, including a reasonable country of origin inquiry, whereby such vendors
were asked to complete the Conflict Minerals Report Template to certify that either (i) none of the products that they manufacture
for us contains any Conflict Minerals or (ii) none of the Conflict Minerals are sourced in from any Covered Country or such Conflict
Minerals are from recycled or scrap sources.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">Based
upon our review of the certifications, reporting templates and other communications with our vendors, we have concluded in good
faith that during 2021, based on the reasonable country of origin inquiry, we have no reason to believe that any of the Conflict
Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of any of our products may have originated in any of the Covered Countries
or were not solely from recycled or scrap sources. Furthermore, we have not identified any indicator or other risks that lead
us to believe that any of the Conflict Minerals in our products could be sourced from the Covered Countries, and we consider that
it is reasonable to rely upon the representations of our vendors.</FONT></P>
